Overview

Metastatic skin carcinomas originate from visceral carcinomas metastasizing per continuitatem, via blood or lymphatic vessels. The skin metastases develop rarely, approximately in 3–5 % of patients with metastatic tumors, and might represent the first sign of other organ carcinoma metastases. We present a case of a 66-year-old male without history of oncological disease, examined because of growing cutaneous exophytic nodules localized on the face and chest that were histologically verified as cutaneous metastases of a clear cell renal carcinoma.

Key words:
renal cell carcinoma – clear cell renal carcinoma – cutaneous metastases – occurrence – prognosis
